The waiting is the worst, praying all turns out well & as you say you have got there early. Lovely pic of this adopted tortoise. Take care, Love Barbara. xxxxxx

The fact that we will be dealing with a cancer really bites, waiting to find out which bites even more. To me it's like being in a fight, having someone punching you, but you have to wait to fight back, while others are assessing the opponent. Is he older or younger than you, taller or shorter, in good physical shape, or will you lay him out flat with your first swing,......once it's ok to swing back. Be patient now, we still need to measure his reach, in order to determine if you should duck to one side or step in, all the while you are still standing there getting hit. Maybe a stupid analogy, but this is what it feels like to me. I'm ready to get on with it, kick its ass and move on. I wish it were possible to trade places, I'd do it in a heartbeat. There is no way we don't win this fight. I love you baby!

I hope the BEST!!!!!! take care!

Prayers and best wishes to you during the awful period of waiting. Glad you caught it early! Great photo!

wonderful shot! I was lucky because some months ago i got a simple operation to my womb and it was nothing, which means that it hadn't the time to develop. I hope it's the same for you!

I'll put you both on my prayer list! I do hope everything turns out for the best ....nice choice for your totem !

Waiting is the worst of all in these instances, and I can very well understand your apprehension. I'm not religious, so all I can say is best of luck, Cheri! Stellar POV and clarity in this shot of the slow and easy tortoise, with nary a care in the world, as it crawls its ponderous way across the sand to the fence area.

Sending you all the best wishes, Cheri! And a tortoise seems a really good choice. Not only are they patient - they're also long-lived. nods sagely Good totem!

Oh Cheri, it breaks my heart to hear that. I hate cancer. you are correct about early detection, that is the key. Also attitude is very imaportant too. You and your family are in my prayers

Hi Dear.... Wait wait wait..... sorry. but you will win......

My prayers for you and your family...HUGS*

wonderful shot of him

Our thoughts are with you..I hate waiting too..I was one of the lucky ones..my lump was caught in time..phew! I keep my fingers crossed that the same will be for you...Hugs..K Thank you for stopping by my gallery so glad you liked my little birdy..love this georgous fellow..why is it when ever I see them I have the urge to hop on board and take a ride..ummm! to much time on my hands I think..

excellent!

I know about what you are talking about and early attention is a great idea. I've been through this a few years ago and chances are, all is just fine. Love this turtle shot! Good job.

Sending good thoughts and hoping all turns out fine.

The tortoise is a great totem for all the reasons that tag0 mentioned. All of our families prayers are focused toward you and a clean bill of health. Dana

Positive vibes and love are the best in moments like this. I don't know you but I had to encourage you as I went through the same thing last year. Like you, I caught it early so it was localized (in situ). The first moments of finding out are crazy but after that, if you let it, you will find "something" is holding you up somehow. It felt like a spiritual force with me at the time, later I found out it might have been adrenaline and as I was going through surgery, I did feel the positive vibes and love accompanying me. So, believe me, if you don't get all angry and rebellious, you will feel the strength :) I was one of the lucky ones, after two operations, only a small incision on the breast and no chemo... ;) Yes, it's long, scary and exhausting (I had radiotherapy) but I'm alive ;) and waiting does suck lol I prefer not thinking of it as a battle or fighting it, try to understand what it's telling you, it might be easier :)

Nice photoshot my friend, wonderful capture.

My thoughts REALLY do go out to you both.... I know just what you are going through. Be positive.. Really, It's the only way... Truly my best wishes are with you both... Rob.

positive thinking makes a huge difference!

I don't know you but my wish is very sincere, that this turns out to be nothing to worry about and you may get on with your life, in one that you will find every colour, sound and feeling more enhanced.. I think I understand a little of what you are going through.xx

Cheri, my thoughts are with you, i have just read Daves moving tribute to you, you are blessed by someone who loves you very much.

Very nice image. I hope everything turns out well! Best wishes!

I love turtle...and that one should be around 70 years old ;-)

I just read Daves tribute to you Cheri! What a remarkable man he is and his love for you shines in every word! Sending you healing energy and lots of love and light!!!

Cheri, you are a strong person, and you have the love and support of your family and friends. No matter what, Dave is right. You WILL come out of this stronger and better, I am sure. My thoughts and best wises are with you too, so add another to the mass of people sending you good vibes!

Wish you much strength and energy, and that you're inspired by the turtle let I like that!

I wish you well. A tortoise may live an awfully long time.... PS. Excellent work!

superb image. Thinking of you and hoping you are going to be ok.
